Hi Folks

Please comment on this interesting mans coat.. It is from "State of Maine" clothiers and sold by Strawbridge Clothier of Philadelphia..
The material is all wool.

The coat has cuffed sleeves and a very thin shawl collar...

Please advise to age and any comments appreciated...

I found this rather unusual coat at a thrift store... It actually fits me perfect. LOL

Thanks folks.

Best regards.

Odd, but kind of nice. At first I thought it was a smoking jacket. Or maybe something to wear around the house?

My bets are in the smoking jacket also, not really fancy but nice housecoat anyhow.

Hi Folks

It has a kind of country/workman's look. However I like the " Smoking Jacket" angle...
I think I will venture to the market today wearing her..I will post some pic's.

Hi Folks
This is a better image of the coat... I kind of like it...
The shawl collar gives her a different look however buttoning her can be tricky.
Buttons may need to be tightened up a bit...

I agree it looks like a smoking jacket, but for the rustic gentleman tending to his smokehouse of fly-caught salmon...

Looks good on you, you should keep it.
